7/26/25 John C Reilly joining Remi Wolf & Friends for Just The Two Of Us #newportfolkfest
Mt Joy was a lot better than I remembered, a bit more rocking and jammier than expected, with one of their meanderings ending up as an I Know You Rider cover.

No guests, but I think my favorite resistance song of the weekend came from Hurray for the Riff Raff, Precious Cargo, which I kind of forgot about and is 3 years old already but hits hard with the catchy as hell refrain: Oh, I.C.E., I.C.E. Me hate you, I.C.E.

Then Tweedy returned the favor inviting Lucius to the stage multiple times throughout his set a little while later.

Lucius interrupted their awesome set for a cover of Jesus etc with none other than Jeff Tweedy himself.

Margo Price also called on Jesse, and John C Reilly too, for yet another Dylan cover, Maggie's Farm.
#livemusic #newportfolkfest
Jesse Welles was everywhere it seemed. Sammy Rae and the Friends turned into Sammy Rae and friends as they were calling up lots of guests during their set. With Jesse she sang Don't Think Twice It's Alright.

Newport Folk Fest day 3.
After 3 days of festin and a long day of drivin it's all kind of a blur. My 16th folk fest (pretty sure) and probably fell somewhere in the middle on quality, but still very fun. The spirit of Newport is collaboration and there was […]

The rest of the day was essentially a Newport Folk alumni dream rotation.
Bonny Light Horseman!
Lukas Nelson!
Iron and Wine! With a full band and lots of new songs.
Waxahatchee! With a bunch of help from MJ Lenderman.
I'm With Her!
Not one but two folk […]

Illiterate Light have been leading and playing the Bike Stage for the last 4 years. They returned to a main stage for the first time since 2019. They kicked ass as they always do, playing with the energy of a couple of dudes who could ride their bikes from […]

Newport Folk Fest day two.
Started off with a short solo Hayes Carll set at a side stage with some great new ones off his forthcoming album and this brand new instant classic folk sing-along. Things were looking great right off the bat.
#livemusic #newportfolkfest
Kim Deal put out yet another one of my favorite albums this year and played a bunch from that, some Breeders tunes (yes Cannonball!) and closed out back on bass for the Pixies' Gigantic sounding extra big with her extra big band that had strings and horns […]

So Kenny Loggins' set got cut in half and he wasted a portion of it on giving his backup singer a moment to shine on her own song. But he opened with one of my all-time favorite songs, Danny's Song, so all was fine. He sounded great so really unfortunate he […]

Geese was kinda killing it in a very non folksy manner and then the fest shut everything down to shelter in place for an impending storm. Big bummer that would really mess with the remaining schedule.
#livemusic #newportfolkfest
Kevin Morby, another favorite but without a new album, just blazing through his "hits" with another killer backing band featuring Liam Kazar again and Cheme and Eric Slick. One disappointment on the day was the lack of acknowledgement of the times we are […]

SG Goodman also put out one of my favorite albums this year (and every year she puts one out) and also delivered an excellent set including a surprising Butthole Surfers Pepper cover. Things were rolling along in the early going.
#livemusic #newportfolkfest
Highlights from the first day of the Newport Folk Fest. A fantastic day in my estimation with some hiccups. Got to see a lot of my favorites deliver. A rain delay threw a wrench in things but you gotta roll with the punches.
Opened up with what is becoming […]
